Brendan Sorsby’s workout video, showing him grinding for the 2027 NFL Draft, is a stark reminder: his NFL dreams are on hold until then, all because of a $90,000 betting admission and the league opting out of a supplemental draft. This dude’s got a year to kill before he can even think about getting picked.
From Top Transfer to Sidelined: How Sorsby Got Here
So, how did we get here? Sorsby bounced from Texas Tech over the offseason, and that’s when the real drama started. Turns out, he admitted to dropping thousands of bets, totaling over $90,000, while he was still playing college ball. That’s a huge no-no, obviously. He actually got a temporary injunction against the NCAA that *would* have let him play this 2026 season. But instead of taking that, he gambled on the NFL holding a supplemental draft, hoping to jump straight to the pros. Big mistake, because the NFL decided, nope, no supplemental draft this year. So, now he’s stuck in limbo, waiting all the way until 2027 to even be eligible for the regular draft. The guy even posted with the quote: “Leave the past in the past. Learn from it, grow from it.” Sounds like he’s trying to turn the page, but that’s a tough lesson learned.
A Year Away: Will Teams Still Bet on This Arm?
The wild part is, Sorsby wasn’t just some bench warmer. He was legit. This guy was one of the top transfers in college football just this offseason. Go back to his 2025 season with Cincinnati: 2,800 passing yards, a ridiculous 27 touchdowns, and only five interceptions. Plus, he was a dual threat with 580 rushing yards and nine scores on the ground. He had the talent, no doubt. His “ideal scenario” was to go to Texas Tech and prove he was a top pick. Now, he’s just hoping some NFL team out there is willing to take a chance on him after he’s spent a full year away from competitive football. That’s a huge question mark, man. A lot can change in a year, and that’s a big risk for any franchise.
So for Sorsby, it’s a long, tough road until the 2027 draft. He’s gotta keep grinding and hope some GM looks past the betting scandal and the year off to that undeniable talent he flashed at Cincinnati. It’s a massive waiting game, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for his NFL future. Switching gears real quick, just got the word that our Seahawks pulled off a solid win today, taking down the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23. Always good to see a W in the books!
